The Archive by Imtiaz: Furnished Apartments in DLRC, Dubailand

The Archive is a new off-plan tower by Imtiaz Developments in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), Wadi Al Safa 5, Dubailand. Homes come furnished and hand over in Q3 2028. You can buy a studio, 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment across thirteen residential floors. The lobby is what makes this tower different. You walk in through a real library. It rises two levels, linked by a spiral staircase, and holds around 10,000 books. Even the front desk is built from books.

Location: Dubai Land Residence Complex

DLRC is a freehold community inside Dubailand. It was planned as an apartment district, so most buildings here are mid-rise towers rather than villas. Ready buildings and new off-plan projects sit side by side.

The community sits where Al Ain Road (E66) meets Emirates Road (E611). The Archive itself is just off Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Road (D54). That position is the reason drive times stay short in most directions. A new metro station is planned on Emirates Road.

Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubai Academic City are both close. Together they bring students, teachers and tech workers who need homes to rent nearby. This keeps rental demand steady in DLRC.

Drive times from The Archive

• Dubai Academic City: 5 minutes

• Dubai Outlet Mall: 5 minutes

• Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure: 10 minutes

• Mohammed Bin Rashid Library: 15 minutes

• Downtown Dubai and The Dubai Mall: 20 minutes

• Dubai International Airport: 20 minutes

These are the developer's off-peak times. Traffic will change them.
